hello!
I'm Michelle ~
I'm a photographer, ux/web designer and traveller. My happy place is disappearing into the mountains for a long hike, slow travelling schedule-free from city to city, or making my way through a bag of salty sweet popcorn while flipping through Netflix (because you know that's an event in itself).
I went from pencil skirts to ripped jeans to thermal yoga pants within a year. But the journey was more difficult than just a style change.
Listen, I know what it's like to work hard for everything that you want, to succeed and accomplish things in a career you've been busting your butt for, only to wake up realizing what your gut's been trying to tell you all long.
You need to be somewhere else.
This was my somewhere else...
I learned that...
And my somewhere else became essential to my healing, my well-being and eventually, my work.
Introverts are awesome. We stand together but we also respect space.
I can choose when to be extroverted and when to retreat and recharge.
I'm a silent force of nature - quiet & effective with tricks up my sleeve.
I have lots of stories to tell. And I'm pretty great at telling them too!
I also learned...
I love cat cafés
Well, any cafés really. I discovered my love for flat whites and I'm always on the hunt for the perfect cup.
There's no such thing as a fish
It's true! Don't believe me? Check out the podcast with the same name from the QI Elves for 4 fun new facts every week.
I have a thing about clouds
Lying down on a patch of grass or flying high in the sky, I'm always looking out for cool formations. Mickey & unicorns!
Fast-track to today.
If I'm not planning my next adventure or traipsing around the Rockies, you'll catch me in a sweater dress working at my standing desk with a cup of earl grey tea on one side and Captain America bobbing his head on the other.
I've become crazed with learning how to package all of a person's talents, experiences, interests and quirks to create a kick-ass brand. I've got a story, you've got a story, everybody's got a story! And what lights me up is helping adventurers like you to build your empire (muah-ha-ha!) online.
My sweet spot is letting my inner code geek ninja out and mixing it with my obsession for fonts and storytelling through photographs with authentic word-smithing.
Mission: to make the internet a beautiful, socially responsible learning place.

We're at our best when we feel one and whole while we continue to discover the best in ourselves and in others.
